Yankee Bondage. The following remarkable and threaten ing article against New England selfishness u from the Pittsburg Commercial, a high protectionist and Iladical reconstruction organ. It furnishes the first muttering of a storm that has long been brewing, and cannot come too soon. Tho Commer cial f.ivs : The unpatriotic selfi'hness of some of the New England Representatives in Con. gres3 is somewhat trying, and cannot but result sooner or lather to their ovrn dam age. The protective system, -comparatively inadequate and shifting though it has teen, has created the prosperity of the c.v EnIaud States; and now tint they are growing somewhat confident in their position, some of their Representatives are constantly on the alert to secure special advantages for special brandies of indus try in which themselves or their neighbors arc interested. For such a purpose they frequently how themselves ready to aba n. din protection aa a principle. A glaring instance is found in the propositio...

A Preacher Canght In HU otto m. rap. Once tTO ministers of the gospel were conversing together on extemporaneous preaching: iMI' 11 H . ".. en, faia the old aivine, vfaxmg warm, "you are ruining yourself by wri tins your fernions and reading them off. Toir congregation cannot become inter estei m your preaching, and if you were cal.'edupon to preach unexpectedly, unless you com4 g ,t hold ot an old sermon, you ouldbe completely confused." The youug divine used all his eloquence bat in Tain to convince the old gentleman that thft written sermon expressed his own thought and feelings, and if called upon he could preach extemporaneously. "As we are of the same faith' said the young minister, ''suppose you try me next Sabbath morning. On ascending the pul pit you can hand ine a text from any part of the Bible, and I will convince you that I can preach without looking at the text before I staod up. Likewise I must be allowed the same privilege with you, and ee who will make the best of i...

Letter from General Longstreet It Trill be ßeen by tbo followiDg letter published in a New Orleans paper, that General Longstrcet favors the acceptance of the Military Bill of Congress : New Orleans, La., March 18, 18G7. As I hare never applied myself to politics, I can not claim to speak to the wise statesmen of the country, who are de voting their energies to the solution of the problem'which agitates the public raind. I can only speak the plain, honest convictions of a soldier. It can hardly be necessary, at this late day, to enter into a discussion of the matter that is -jtinsuallv brought up in arguing vipon the proposed plan for reconstructing the Government. Indeed. I think that many oftheu are not pertinent to theques- j tion. The striking feature, and the oue that our people should keep in view, is, that we are a conquered people. Recognizing this fact fairly and squarely, there is but one course kft for wise men topursue. Ac cept the terms that are offered us by the conque...

S. &, M BECHER Diodes of Plowing. Amoug the selections in the last number of our interesting journal is a discussion iu the Western Rural about the best mode of plowiug, iu which the wirter describes trench plowing, deep tillers, or common plowing with subsoil attachmcn ts. He denounces the theory that the subsoil is as productive a3 the surface soil, after the i-ubsoil has been turned to the top and ex posed to the elements, or that it is even more productive than surface soil which has been cultivated for along time, adding that practical experiments made crery year prove, beyond a doubt, that cTen old worn out surface-soi1 (as it is called) is fat more productive than subsoil on which he builds this "conclusion," the subsoil not being adapted to the growth of vegeta bles, should be left where it was "placed by the Creator, and the surface soil on the top where it belongs." I may not apprehend what the writer means by subsoil; he may allude only to the soil which is reached by...

THE PLYMOUTH DEMOCRAT. J. C3.0SnORK 9. L. HARVEY Editors. PLYMOUTH, ISDIAXAi TnUEäDAT, Ap P.IL 25, ISG7. An Intolerant Spirit. The Lacrosse Democrat advises the de mocracy of this portion of the State to withhold their patronage from this paper, and thinlcs the pooner its supplies are cut off the better. Now as we do not exchange with the Lacrosse Dumcrat., and its' editor ia not a subscriber, we presume the advice is based upon representations made by in terested parties here. It is possible that iciza cue hero ns intolerant m the editor of the Lacrosse Dun- oerut hnä seat that paper a copy of the Re publican and written to "Brick" depreca ting our course, and this is all he knows upon the subject. Now, although the nan e Porne-roy means literally, lin-app'e, it does not follow, as a matter of course, that Brick Pomcroy is kin of the newspaper press ; and he shows his weakness when he attempts to dictate to the democracy of the countrv what thev shall or shall not read.
